FUEL SYSTEM – SUBARU EX40

ENGINE RPM ADJUSTMENT

DANGER
• Do not operate gasoline vehicle in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine produces
carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison.
1. If governor is adjusted, proceed to step 2; otherwise, adjust governor. See Governor Cable Installation and
Adjustment on page 21-7.
2. Connect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Connecting the Battery- Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-3.
3. Measure vehicle ground speed. See How to Measure Ground Speed on page 21-10.
4. Compare measured ground speed with forward ground speed specified in Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications.
5. If adjustment is necessary, use the following procedures:
5.1. To reduce RPM, adjust the two jam nuts (9) to move the accelerator cable housing toward the rear of
the vehicle until specified ground speed is reached (Figure 5-4, Page 5-5). See Section 2 – Vehicle
Specifications.
5.2. To increase RPM, adjust the two jam nuts to move the accelerator cable housing forward until specified
ground speed is reached.
5.3. Be sure both jam nuts are locked against the underbody and check ground speed again. If ground speed
needs to be adjusted, repeat previous step. See following NOTE.
NOTE: If more adjustment is required than the cable housing will allow, make sure the spring fitting on the other end
of the accelerator cable is properly installed. Excessive drive belt and clutch wear can also prevent proper
ground speed adjustment. Check them for excessive wear. Section 23 — Clutches – Subaru EX40
